Let's just pause a moment while the Gordon Lightfoot song cycles through our mind's ear. Okay, that's enough. I've always loved that song, but never knew much about the sinking of the real ship. She sunk 30 years ago to the day, November 10, 1975. There were no survivors. Here's the true story from Thom Holden of the Lake Superior Maritime Visitors Center.

Having heard the song many times, I too wondered about the story. Thanks for that.

Don't miss T.D. Mischke's interview with a Edmund Fitz expert, but Mischke sings every question ala Lightfoot. And the guy goes along with it, playing straight man. The link to RealAudio is here.
